Exceptional Service
Colleen was awesome! She worked with us every step of the way helping us understand the family trust we wanted to setup. She explained everything along the way and patiently and passionately answered our many questions. She also had numerous lessons learned from past clients that we were able to take advantage of to avoid similar issues. This was a very positive experience and I only wish we had done it sooner!

Don't go anywhere else, GO TO COLLEEN!
I wish I could give her more then 5 stars! If I could , I would give millions. My husband and I were so overwhelmed with estate, will, and advanced directives. After 5 minutes of sitting with Colleen, we knew we were in good hands. Colleen made a very difficult task so easy. ADORE HER! and her intellect and talents.

Excellent Estate Lawyer. Best I've found from Avvo and Google!
We recently used Colleen for our Wills,Trusts etc. I could not have been happier to have chosen her amongst the other three lawyers we consulted. She made sure we undertstand the process and helped us from start to finish. She is very understanding, empathetic, and patient as she walks us through the legal terms. I highly recommend her for all your estate planning needs. She is not just a knowledgable lawyer but a very warm and just a wonderful person as well. So thankful I found her. Me and my family will always be grateful. 101% Satisfied.

Colleen was great. We contacted her to discuss updating our wills and whether we should create a Trust. She was very thorough in answering our questions and patient with us as we worked through some of the decisions we needed to make to complete all of the documents. She is very organized and very knowledgeable in estate planning. Colleen took what was expected to be a tedious process and made it simple for us to navigate and complete.

Great experience!
Colleen was a fantastic advocate for us while preparing our will and durable power of attorney! She was very knowledgeable, attentive and thorough! She had everything completed in a very timely manner and was so kind and professional! She was sympathetic to the fact it is difficult to think of the need for a will when we have such little babies, and she was wonderful! Highly, highly recommend her!

Wills, Directives, etc
Colleen was recommended through the Hyatt Legal Plans and we were on a tight timeline to update wills, powers of attorney, directives. Colleen had a plan put together in plenty of time to meet deadlines and made recommendations that we had not considered. We never felt rushed and completed the tasks well within our timeline requirements. I would not hesitate to recommend Colleen or return to her for additional legal services.

Glad that i had Coleen to take care of my needs
I had put off doing the uncomfortable task of creating my will and directives, it is great to have confidence that every thing has been done properly. She is very thorough and took the time to explain everything completely. I would highly recommend Colleen with confidence.

Will, Trust, Medical Directives
Colleen did a great job creating wills, a trust, and medical directives for myself, my wife, and our kids. She really took the time to get to know what we wanted and what our wishes are. This was so important to us because she created a trust and wills for us that will protect our children in case of a tragedy. She was very quick to meet with us and to create the actual documents for us. I am also a lawyer (not in this field) and was very impressed by Colleen.

Clear communicator; Superb advice.
Colleen helped us create wills, a trust, healthcare directives and more. She is professional and answers questions thoroughly. She is patient when you ask her to re-review something and does so gladly. She made us feel confident our arrangements will be executed in the way we want them to be. She is so good, the friends we had witness the signing of our documents have contacted her to help them with their estate planning, wills, etc.
